Leading Change

Our bodies constantly change from birth to death. The earth changes with every turn on the axis. And every decision in any organization produces change.

The idea of change often represents moving into a bad place. Maybe it’s because the approach was to tear down or destroy something in the past.

The positive side of change can be realized if we do not remove the old, but use it as a foundation to build something new.

Dan Millman says, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

Great things can be accomplished by looking through a different lens.

Priorities

How often do we become so overloaded or over-committed the stress is overwhelming?

We are consumed with thinking about what should be done tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year. We feel overwhelmed and accomplish nothing, as if we do not know where to start. The key is examining what “has” to be done today and prioritizing those matters, then getting to work.

Dan Millman suggests, “We can do anything, but we can’t do everything… at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.”
